Take a Look at the Futuristic Nike React Element 87

Nike’s design team are already known for pushing the limits of sneaker tech, and it looks like these next few releases are further proof of that notion. The company’s forthcoming Nike React Element 87 is shaping up to be a bold addition to its footwear collection, and one that both athletes and average Joes can get behind.

The futuristic silhouette is armed with revolutionary new React foam technology, which is sure to make it an extremely comfortable shoe. It’s a fairly chunky-looking sole, which fits well into this year’s dad shoe trend. Meanwhile, the upper is outfitted with a translucent shell and exterior taping on the heel for added support. Another standout feature of the Element 87 is an exposed lace collar and substantial nylon laces which will allow for better fastening.

As of now, it looks like the sneaker will be debuting in two standalone colourways, but if it fairs successful, don’t be surprised when more editions make their way into the fold. Upon retail drop, shoppers can pick up a pair in a monochromatic grey or a light beige that comes with colourful little tinges.

There’s currently no release date for the Nike React Element 87, but you can get a closer look at the shoe below via our slideshow. In other sneaker news, check out the recent Vans collaboration with Marvel Studios here.
